Why Organic Cotton?

If you haven't already made the switch to organic cotton I promise all it takes is just one purchase of an organic onesie for your baby and you are hooked! Organic cotton is soooo soft! When my first son was born I never even heard of organic cotton. But as I have become more Eco-conscious and green minded, organic cotton is the way to go (especially for newborns.)
It is grown without the use of chemicals, pesticides or genetically modified organisms that may disagree with the delicate skin of babies. Conventional cotton uses 25% of all pesticides amounting to 50 million pounds on US fields alone! According to WHO, 20,000 deaths occur each year from pesticide poisoning in developing countries. In fact, just one tee shirt made from conventional cotton takes 1/4 pound of chemicals!
Extra softness is an added bonus considering all the benefits for the planet and its people. Yes, organic cotton is a little more expensive but isn't your babies health and future worth the extra cost? This is why Grow Green Baby only offers organic clothing, bedding, blankets, mattresses, towels, plush toys and more. How could we not? To learn more about why organic cotton go to www.ota.com.
